Napoli are apparently signing Damiao too

That's probably doing you a favour atm, he's not been doing very well for Internacional.

Keeper's kit looks good. Also, Gareth Bale looks more ridiculous with every new photo-shoot.

So my granda had a stroke yesterday....

His response to the paramedic that turned up at the pub? Well, she asked "Hello, how you feeling?" "Hi darlin, I'm doing alright... Yourself?"

Mental. He had no signs of a stroke. His right leg just went completely numb. I initally thought he could be drunk, but he was totally compos mentis and had only 2 nips. Luckily we went and got an ambulance. Also, it was revealed he's had about 15 strokes before but wouldn't know it because they all occurred on the defunct part of the brain.

That is absolutely mental.

'mon Atléti.

Don't forget Savic and Tomovic...

Roncaglia is an odd one, he was right up there with the best defenders in the league prior to the winter break then his form just went to hell.

The dip in form isn't that surprising tbh. He was playing so much better than he did when he played for Boca. He was always going to come back down to earth with a bump. I suspect he'll settle somewhere between his Boca form and his early form for Fiorentina.

fuck it levy, hurry up and buy that damn striker.

Atléti want Soldado as well

Thoughts on Pablo Osvaldo?

We're being linked with him and I'm fairly unimpressed.

Carrick and Thiago with Kagawa just in front of them would be pretty deadly.

It'd be great going forward but it looks entirely unconvincing defensively. Of the three Carrick is the most competent defensively and it's still not his strong suit. Personally I think United need a more physical, defensive midfielder than they do another playmaker. Because talented though Thiago is, Carrick and Kagawa aren't exactly doing badly.

Even if he came back this summer, they'd still have a better team overall. United still have a gaping hole in central midfield (even with Thiago coming in).

he was the physical embodiment of football culture's complacency about the issues that Syed raised.

That's exactly the sort of ridiculous, swingeing statement that KM's all about.

Cascarino had absolutely no idea where the money had come from, and anything about Abrahmovich whatsoever, he was the physical embodiment of football culture's complacency about the issues that Syed raised.

Eurgh, you're like a younger KM.

Looking extremely likely that City are gonna sign Negredo for £21m. Not sure how I feel about that tbh

Personally, I'd be happy with the signing, £21m is a bit steep though. I much preferred the £18m fee that was floating about.

If Martinez went to Stoke and tried to impose his style of play, he'd have to buy an entirely new squad. You can't teach thugs like Whelan and N'Zonzi short, possession football.

I'm not saying it'd be an easy option, it would have been more interesting though.

That said, the transition from Moyes > Martinez should be interesting too.

Hughes isn't the sort of person you want to bring in to try and overhaul Pulis' regime/philosophy. For one thing he has no discernible footballing philosophy other than being hard to beat.

The short-lived rumours about Stoke being interested in Martinez were far more interesting.

Would be pretty funny if Southampton turned out to be QPR 2.0.

No, they actually have a decent manager. Keep an eye on Stoke though.

Everything I've seen has a €9m basic fee and €3m in performance related add-ons, he's also meant to have agreed a basic wage of €5.5m a year, though again, there'll be various clauses etc bumping it up a bit.

From what I've read it's €9m basic, 3 x €1m if they qualify for the CL during his 3-year deal and a maximum of €1m a season of his 3-year contract in which win a Scudetto or Champions League.

I hope I haven't worded that too confusingly.

Well, yeah, but you're including Tevez's wages whilst excluding Fernandinho's.

I was only referring to the fee. I considered editing after I posted it but cba.

Russian league players contracts' run out in December anyway don't they?

Yeah, they do.

The Italian press have been linking Honda with Milan when his contract runs out.

Sky Italia are saying we're about to sell Carlos Tevez to Juve for €12m.

Not a massive fee but will, more importantly, get rid of his £198k p/w wages.
